This isn't as bad as a lot of the later Polystyle comics get. It's not anything outstanding, but for the average grade-schooler (first through fifth grader) I could see this being a lot of fun. It's got decent artwork, the Doctor looks like his TV counterpart, the aliens are decent designs, and the plot is serviceable if a bit on the simple side. It moves along at a good pace and the action is fun. Plot-wise, it's a simple story of one alien species enslaving another and the Doctor and his grandkids getting involved and putting an end to villains' plans. Yes, the girl companion Gillian gets a bit sidelined, and the boy companion is a little trigger-happy, but it's a fun little pulp adventure comic for younger kids. It's the materpieces of storytelling that DWM would achieve, but it's serviceable and isn't boring.
